As the issue of global warming becomes more publicized, many individuals wonder what they can do.  Although you may not see the drastic affects of global warming firsthand, it is important to remember that your future family members may.  That is why you should do your part to join in the fight against global warming.

 

When it comes to joining the fight against global warming, there is a common misconception.  That misconception is that average, everyday individuals cannot do anything to help.  Many mistakenly believe that it is up to the politicians, scientists, and other well known figures to make a difference.  This is not true.  There are a lot of ways that you can help, in the fight against global warming.  In fact, many of the steps that you can take are actually much easier than you may have though.

 

One of the first things that you will want to look at is your vehicle.  Do you need a new car or can you afford to upgrade?  If so, you will want to examine hybrids or other energy efficient vehicles.  Many are affordable, they can help you save the environment, and you can even save money in the long run.  Energy efficient vehicles enable you to save money on gasoline, which is nice with the current prices of gasoline being quite high.

 

In keeping with your vehicle, it is important to examine your uses.  Do you really need to use your car as much as you do?  For work, is it possible for you to use public transportation or can you carpool?  As for your weekly errands, can you carpool with a friend or family member and turn your weekly errands into a fun filled adventure?  If you can, you are urged to do so.  The less vehicles on the road make it easier to combat global warming.

 

Next, you will want to take a look at your home.  One of the best ways to help in the fight against global warming is to use as little energy and electricity as possible.  You will want to make sure that all lights and appliances are turned off when they are not needed or being used.  This may be hard to get use to at first, but you can post sticky notes or other reminders near light switches until everyone in your household gets in the habit of shutting off lights when they aren抰 needed.

 

Staying with your home, if you are in need of new household appliances or when you are ready to upgrade, you will want to examine those with Energy Star labels.  These appliances use less electricity, which can help in the fight against global warming.  It is also important to mention the money that you are able to save on electricity costs.  The prices of these energy saving appliances are usually fair and affordable to begin with too, which is nice.

 

It is also advised that you check your water heater.  Many experts suggest having your water heater set at 120 degrees or lower.  Also, a hot water heater blanket can help.  A hot water heater blanket can help you with your heating costs and it can also limit the number of toxins your home emits.  

 

The above mentioned ways are all easy ways that you can work to fight global warming and the affects it will have on the environment.  With that in mind, there is only so much at one person can do.  That is why you will want to take the time to educate your friends or family members on the subject.  You may be surprised how many people are unfamiliar with global warming, even with all of the press that it receives.  Simply mentioning what your friends or family can do to fight global warming in passing is enough, without seeming too pushy.  Another great tip involves giving energy efficient light bulbs as a small housewarming gift or Christmas present.
